people keep bringing up the fact that italians and irish weren't considered white. but i think the far more relevant argument is the fact that the "one drop rule" is one of the main reasons for statistical democratic shift. if someone has 1 black grandparent and 3 white ones, they are statistically considered black. of course, if you always count mixed people as "non-white", the actual genetic representation of "white people" will be massively underrepresented in statistics. most african americans have some white ancestry (often through rape of slaves, but often also from times after slavery). by far most "latinos" have strong "white" ancestry, too. so, if we would count them as "partially white", the statistics would look VERY different. yes, a modern society mixes more, because luckily a lot of us don't chose their partners based on racist ideas anymore. so there are much more mixed people than ever before. so? it's fucking awesome.

Just wait until Native Americans hear about the "Great Replacement Theory".

As someone who is blind that opening line got me

Fun fact: while in the US Italian migration was oftenly perceived as a pollution of inferiors (some even classifying them "non-whites"), in Argentina, Brazil and most of Latin America Italian immigrants were not just welcomed (except for some purists) but invited to migrate, since, according to the Latin American hyperdescent logic of miscegenation, they'd "improve the race". This is how nebulous the concept of "pure whiteness" is: for Latin America it was all Europeans, for Anglo-America it was only a certain kind of Europeans.

Sometimes I wish people still had that childlike sense of love and kindness. The older I get the more bitter everyone seems especially over arbitrary nonsense. If only we could still want to be friends with everyone.

"Theory"

How come refugees are mainly male working age ?

My Mom was a child in Brooklyn NY during the 1950's. She grew up in a Irish Catholic family. Her Aunt fell in love with a man from a Italian Catholic family that lived a couple of blocks away. At that time a marriage between a Irish kid and a Italian kid was considered a bad thing. Mixing I guess. After they got married they were not welcome in the Irish neighborhood or the Italian neighborhood. They ended up moving to Florida to start their family. In 2022 we would think that's nuts. I hope that what we are talking about today loses traction is considered old fashioned and weird in a generation or two. (Hopefully sooner than that!)

Thank you so much Mr. Beat. As a person who fell into this line of thinking once and knows the struggle to get out, it warms my heart to see these videos and wished that KZfaq was full of these when I had my dark times.

4:18 minor correction, that flag on the left is actually the Ivory Coast flag ( 🇨🇮) not the Irish flag 🇮🇪 ^^

"Coudenhove Kalergi" NOT a theory....

“Fellow white people” Every single time!

Thank you for calling out the “normies are cowards, don’t conform” point. “Being unpopular= being right” has unfortunately become a genuine point to gullible people

130,000,000+ shouldnt be in America and 10,000,000+ shouldnt be in Britain.

Oy Vey! Hello fellow white people!

"They cannot replace us... Because they are us." Wew, if only Israel subscribed to that same idea.

This video seem to tackle the more extreme and conspiratorial versions of this, but as a European, coming from a Swedish city that used to be ~95% sweds some 40 years ago (most of these 5% from neighbouring countries), and today have nearly 50% foreign born (mostly from mideast, Afghanistan and Somalia), the change is very much noticable, and its difficult to not admit these ideas come from an actual and real problem at its core. To say 'the values are already similar, thats why they come here' is a common talking point in Sweden too; but theres little reason to believe this at all true, at least here, and a lot indicating it usually isnt. The very secular and freespirited cultural style of Sweds, and the very religious, conservative and family controlled cultural style of these regions doesnt always go hand-in-hand, and motivation for picking our country specifically tend to be due to economic safety, not values. The cultural values of sweds are usually viewed as something weird and foreign; a strange enigma you're curious of but knows little about, or something already concluded to be immoral that you ought to avoid being tainted of. In difference to the US, there is no tradition of multiculturalism here, but rather of a strong monoculture. We were a single people, with a single party (in power), with a single TV-channel, for a really, really long time. As more migrants enter a neighbourhood, Sweds tend to leave it to live locally in the monoculture they are used to; and migrants tend to pick neighbourhoods where they know someone from their home country. As a result, segregation is intensified and integration or assimilation becomes very weak, and plenty of neighbourhoods and schools in my city has no ethnic sweds at all anymore. At most, they are integrated though children of past migrants (who themselves have few or no Sweds in their social circles). To contemplate the "replacement theory", you only need to ask yourself; 'what if this trend continues, for another 40 years...?' The talking point of 'whites are being exploited' goes back to the motivation of picking a country like Sweden; economic safety. We have a massive wellfare state, and very welcoming rules. When a group who didnt contribute to the wellfare system, then have really low employment numbers and live off it; its hard to not say that there is no exploitation in that. The average for a migrant from these regions is 8 years, until they had their FIRST job... That's a lot of years on wellfare. More than most Sweds have in their lifetimes... To put it simply; if the demographic trends of my city were to be extrapolated to the whole country, maintaining a wellfare state of the standard we´re accustumed to, would be utterly impossible. It only works now due to a system of local government wealth transfer; if not we would sit on a near 30% citybudget deficit. (City in question is Malmö, third largest city in Sweden.) One can and should avoid the harsh and racialized terminology of "white exploitation/replacement" and the likes of it, while still recognizing that there are real and difficult problems at the core of this, which cant just be sumarized as some fake populist conspiracy theory. Below that conspiratorial surface, real problems are festering and growing; and the unfortunate fact is that high migration is exacerbating those problems.

I support open borders and diversity in Israel. It is essential for the development of their democracy!

Trump tweeted something about this once, right? From like an account with the name in it or something?

This type of critical thinking and media literacy needs to be woven into the school curriculum so that more people are equipped with the skills to easily decode the dog whistles.

One day we can talk about have the "Anti-woke, anti-cancel culture, anti-dei" content space is just The Great Replacement theory in a new coat of paint

"Don't be racist, I am a building"

I was only half listening when I heard the name "Camus" and I was like "What the hell??? What does this have to do with absurdism???". I had to go back and listen again. Scared me for a bit.

Can someone to explain to me how Luton being 31% White British, Slough being 35% White British, London being 37% White British, Leicester being 41% White British, Birmingham being 43% White British, Luton being 46% White British, and Savile Town, famous for being the most ethnically-homogenous place in the country, at

There is a replacement in Belgium, Ireland, Brittany and other countries by non indigenous folks. My eyes can see that each time I take the bus or tram. In Brussels most of them are not Belgians!

Went from “It’s not happening” to “it’s happening and it’s a good thing” today

Humza Yousaf, the Pakistani First Minister of Scotland, openly talks about changing the demographics of the country. It's become very obvious at this point.

Our French presidential election had among others 3 themes : - Le Grand Remplacement (a major campaign theme of Éric Zemmour) - Le Grand Ruissellement (« the great trickle down economics », promoted by Macron although he spent a lot in aides to fight the inflation, and communist Fabien Roussel talked about the « Roussellement ») - Le Grand Réchauffement (the emergency of the global warming)

Now do this same video but supporting non Jewish immigration into Israel

Why doesn't this fellow White run this video in Israel as they seem to be really worried about their demographics to the point of their current mowing of the lawn.

Fellow high school history teacher here. I absolutely love your videos. I showed my students snippets of your House of Representatives calling vid, kids loved it, tried to get them to participate in mock elections. Thank you for being so awesome and providing all of this content that is educational, informative and making things so easy to access.

-Man who has never been in an immigrant ghetto.

Really appreciate you putting this positivity into a space so often filled with the opposite. Hope all is well! (PS, still got my ENR sticker on my bumper)

Half of this comment section is fed bait

I think that the '1 drop' theory also plays a role in this. That is the idea that if a "White person" and someone of a different "race", or "ethnicity", have children together this means that none of their children or future generations can be considered "White". This is if anything, even dumber than other reasons, but you can see where a belief of this sort could make people fear for the future of "White people". I mean realistically there's no "they", there is only US. I was typing this while listening to the video, and then you said this yourself, so bonus points for you!

This channel is like hearing my passionate middle school history teachers time travel to right now and break down the world. I love it

I come from Uruguay a small white country from south america and the native black african population was always less than 5% yet they get special quotas. Our country never had racial issues yet left and right do this all the time. We now have to take care of central americans all the time. Even here we are isolated and not in a good position economically but we need to keep taking people in. Why? Why always nations with white people are forced to take foreing people?

You recited ADL propaganda flawlessly. A hebrew unit equal to about 252 grains troy has been deposited into your account.

Gotta thank my dad for how he educated me,being half japanese when I was younger I didn't understand why he showed me a video and explained about japanese war crimes and how terrible they are until I grew up and had knew that if it depended on my grandmother I'd never been born cuz she was against my dad "tainting the bloodline" That still is a different example for what happens in america and those replacement theories but the end result is about the same thing in essence,just old people trying to make the world stagnate.

"theory". gonna make a video about the rape, crime and terrorism epidemic in europe?

Your Irish Flag was displayed incorrectly. Left to right, the flag displays green, white and orange. You displayed the flag, left to right using orange, white and green. That is actually the Ivorian Flag.

I am loving your channelt thank you so much for bring great factual content.....I have became a big fan of your videos.

wait till Bro hears about whats happening in europe

You didn’t shy away from, “this was me” or “this is what I learned”. Well done. It’s hard to face the vulnerable parts of ourselves and this is a testament to your willingness to say some hard but true things. Thanks for being brave. The internet can be a trash can. Hope you received more understanding than not. 🥰

“Diversity enriches societies” then why Japan is so successful ? 🤔

Googles new ai chatbot refuses to generate white ppl lol

Given the mass expulsion of Jews almost 2000 years ago, what is the chance that you have a Jewish ancestor? Pretty good i would think.

Him saying "goodness gracious" when the image of the KKK slid into frame is absolutely sending me

I live in Rochester, NY, me and our greater community has felt so much tension since the Buffalo attack, and I'm sure more diverse communities have felt fear from the growing radicalism in the world. I greatly appreciate that someone who has a more socially diverse fanbase covered this issue in an effort to combat hatred. I love your content, I binged your SCB series a few weeks back and hope you post more in future.

Open borders for Israel

What is interesting is that people talked about demographic shifts for decades, and not a lot of people cared. It was only when people couched this in terms of framing it as *replacement* that anybody got up in arms about it.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the shooting in New Zealand that killed people attending a mosque. That event was huge for the Great Replacement Movement online. It also directly inspired other shooters who mentioned him in thier manifestos such as the El Paso Shooter.

Considering the level of paranoia required to believe this a psychologist could help.

Watch the tune change if ever Europeans are imported into non-european countries

The mainstreaming of the Great Replacement Theory is essentially the 21st Century version of Woodrow Wilson's New Southern Revisionism. We're closer to 100 years ago than many would admit.

Ask RainBolt to find out where the picture originated from

Who made the beat at the end of the video?

Mr. Beat, this is a provocative issue but props to you for making a video like this. Good job!

I don't subscribe to the racist implications of GRT and believe in treating everyone equally and fairly, but a couple of points of contention: 1. If you have immigration to the West but not vice versa, there's going to be replacement. That's just being factual, especially with lower western birthrates. If China, India, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America are allowed to stay relatively static with no inbound migration, but the West is the only region that needs to become more diverse, there will be replacement. 2. Progressives talk enthusiastically about replacement all the time. "Demographics is destiny" they say. It's no accident they have more immigrant friendly policies, they want to accelerate a changing demographic. 3. Western societies have implemented more social services and entitlements than in the past, meaning that immigration will become a more contentious issue because it's no longer just a matter of someone new moving here. Controlling who is a member of the 'club' also controls who is entitled to what financial benefits. 4. At a time when all demographics should have lower birthrates to fight resource scarcity, climate change, and environmental collapse, different groups will cynically use higher birthrates and population as a weapon against those who are responsibly trying to lower their footprint. 5. We have always been apprehensive of newcomers, but it is truly worrying when those new comers don't share your values. France didn't used to have to worry about professors being beheaded for free speech. Now they do. If you wouldn't let in a stranger into your home, why would you let in a group of people that wishes to strip your rights away? 6. Diversity as a strength is incidental. Japan and China have strong societies with less diversity. Diversity can be a weakness. It is much easier for China to send their best spy into American society than for America to send their best Chinese-American spy into China's society. Just some thoughts...

Mr. Beat how are you doing, here's a question does it ever occur that this type of hatred is still happening?

Thank you sir for just being an extremely good and honest man. As an African American man myself, l am very proud to be to call you my brother. Again... thank you.

A lot of what you discuss is why I love the work of Jennifer Mendelsohn of Resistance Genealogy. She builds family trees of politicians and pundits who are anti-immigration and then explains how the policies these politicians want would mean their ancestors would not have been allowed to immigrate to the US.

During WWII the Army had to establish Japanese language schools, as many AJAs did not have the language skills, in spite of their parents efforts. In the Western U.S. Asians were institutionally discriminated against into the first half of the 20th Century.

Eu fui pro Canadá como estudante intercambista e fiquei chocado. O lugar era o interior de Alberta mas era muito mais escuro em pele que o Brasil e vi muçulmanos pela primeira vez. Pior, eles eram muitos, maioria estudantes como eu e falavam em línguas estranhas em vez do inglês. Muito diferente dos imigrantes muçulmanos no Brasil que completamente se tornaram brasileiros, sem língua estrangeira ou religião estrangeira ou costumes e modo de vida estrangeiro. Eu vi que o Canadá estava morto e nem sabia. Porque tanta diversidade e como? Eu nunca vi tanta gente de pele escura na minha vida antes e sou do nordeste brasileiro que é mais escuro que o sul. Não entendo porque o Canadá ficou assim, o que esses estrangeiros têm em comum pra irem aos montes pra lá? Então eu pesquisei na internet em inglês e vi que esse era o caso também na Europa e USA, me surpreendi 🤯 muito estranho e sem justificativa. Eu tive uma síndrome de Paris assim como os japoneses tiveram.

Stevie Wonder can see it and he's blind

I'm French and the concept of "Great Replacement" or "Grand Remplacement" comes from here. I'm quite familiar with it and I must say there are several mistakes in this video. It is not meant to be a conspiracy by the elites to replace white people. It is meant to be a factual description of the immigration pattern France has experienced in the past 60 years. Besides, race is not necessarily the focus. The concept is associated with cultural replacement. When Mr Beat says it's not grounded in fact, I don't understand his point. There are 6M Muslims in France. Before WW1, there were almost none. There was 1 mosque in France in 1916, now there are 2500. Their impact is seriously felt due to the multiplication of islamic terrorist attacks and higher crime rates.

Im italian/white and grew up with my grandma in my life who is black. I wasnt raised to see color. I wish nothing in this world was about race. We cant just say we are humans from different places? Why not just work together for the benefit of everyone?

The difference between a theory and reality is 6-9 months 🤷🏼‍♂️

Well stop being lazy "dog parents" and have actual kids smh 🤦🏼

I was taught in biology class that race was just biological variation in a species, like genotypes or phenotypes(physical stuff like skin color or fur color such as the colors of giraffes). No racism or xenophobia in this explanation, just minor genetic stuff with no noticeable effect on one's behavior.

Seriously props to you for making this, I’ve always loved your content but I’ve seen such an improvement in your recent videos in the past couple of months. Keep up the good work.

It's not wrong. Even if ppl don't like it

Loved this video (and many of your videos), Mr. Beat! Thank you for this and for taking on the heavy lift of putting this together!

It's sad that we need videos explaining that we shouldn't fear and hate each other because of racial and/or cultural differences. I wish there was a simple & effective way to cure people of this small-mindedness, but it's sort of like "you can't fix stupid". It seems that racists have a sense of pride in their hatred, and I find it difficult to reason with them. Mr. Beat thank you for taking the time to cover this topic.

Oh my lord Greek-Americans got a shoutout! Thank you so much! Discussing race as a Greek American is always difficult so I really appreciate just a mention in your video. It means a lot.

Still ignoring evidence of your own eyes.

George Soros approves this message.

The great replacement is not happening, and it’s good that it is happening.

The editing in this video was so high quality compared to recent videos. Did you hire an editor? Looks great! Edit: Just checked the credits in the description. Love the new editing!

Well, this didn't aged well

Beta physiognomy rarely lies. Especially voice physiognamy.

"We don't need to fear each other. We just need to get to know each other." Subscribed.

Sidenote: this is why I thought the Stormfront character in the Amazon series The Boys was brilliantly written, she’s a master at being a subtle racist and using memes and even perfectly captures the modern American racist with the quote “People love what I have to say. They believe in it. They just don't like the word Nazi, that's all.”

Remember, when the infrastructure starts to disfunction badly for the masses, they can't help but get stressed. Governments allowing huge immigration need to invest more in health, water sewage, roads etc, if not people become fearful, depressed and easily manipulated. Also in UK huge amount of housing is needed, and fertile (often flood planes) agricultural land is disappearing fast under huge housing estates, making the country less food self sufficient than it already is. Roads that used to function become gridlocked. Money money money and corruption. one love ❤️ PS all the people's money(taxes) is going into mindless cruel wars, making millions homeless with no understanding or genuine deplomacy. When will people put themselves in their opponents shoes and show some understanding.

“The problem is subjective framing” proceeds to commit every logical fallacy. I don’t even disagree with the message but this doesn’t acknowledge any actual evidence or argument contrary to his narrative

Thank you so much for this video Mr.Beat! I've been a subscriber for years and I've always really admired and appreciated how responsibly you use your platform.

Memes are easily the biggest driving force of radicalism. Can be made by anybody, for any purpose with baseless claims and no sources. They are also really good cover for "It's just a joke" and "I wasn't serious when I made it".

19:15 "The picture was actually taken in 2012 and had nothing to do with the refugee crisis". You didn't mention what it *did* have to do with. Just curious.

what about sweden?

4:14 There is an error in the Irish flag. You stated earlier this was ‘Irish-Americans’ but that is the flag of Ivory Coast! The Ireland flag is upside down. :)

If diversity is so important, why is it only forced on majority white countries?

Ava sent me here. Absolutely horrifying to see the self immolation the teachers are infecting the youth with.

Another banger mr beat, I always enjoy your historical and political vids please keep it up!

There is a great video that talks about part of the subject, it's called "Tribalism: weaponizing culture". One of my favorite videos that breakdown how we fall into conflict of "we and they".

great video, Matt! one question - speaking of things like invasions, didn't European settlers invade and attack indigenous societies and cultures on the American continent in the first place?

If suddenly Japan opened up immigration (because it's virtually impossible to immigrate to Japan right now) and 4-5% of the country's population every single year was the amount of say.... Indians, or shoot, white people. And these people on average tended to have twice as many kids as the Japanese families. Would we be upset at the Japanese for wanting to keep their culture? Or since they aren't white would we "understand that their culture is important to them"? Honest question. I am all for immigration, and even if "the great replacement" is real I don't care. So you can ease up thinking I'm some racist trying to make a point. I am honestly curious, because if Japan (which does have very strict laws specifically to protect it's culture) started to panic that it was losing it's culture, I would not blink and would completely understand why they would be concerned.

This is why I can't find a restaurant in Texas with really good guacamole.

Camus may have popularized the "Great Replacement Theory", but in the 2000's I was beating the drum for the "Demographics is Destiny!" crowd... who were arguing that replacing the White Americans (and Canadians) was a GOOD thing and was quite happy that by 2050, the USA was going to be primarily non-white for the first time in the history of the United States of America. (it was going to take another 30+ years for Canada at the time - I don't even think there was an official estimate for Canada.) White Americans who hated this were almost entirely Conservatives, openly Christian, were anti-Same Sex Marriage (to the point of many were actually anti-LGBTQ+), and pro-Captialism. All of which we were quite happy to say would be destroyed by the browning of America (a sentiment often shared in the 2000's, though I don't remember if it was actually a slogan like "Demographics is Destiny!" was). America was going to become less Conservative, less Christian, pro-SSM, more anti-Capitalist and overall less Whtie, and this was a good thing to us. Toss in the argument FOR immigration that have been spread in the last 20+ years - particularly the argument that the West isn't having enough babies to fill the jobs we need, so without these immigrants doing jobs that we Westerners didn't want to do - it gets easy to read something nefarious between the lines. Because I DID mean something Nefarious. I DID mean I wanted to see less White Christian Capitalist Americans (and Westerners in general) in the world. I DID think that taking things (money, power, land, etc.) from White people was perfectly fine. I DID outright want there to be less White people in the world, to be "replaced" by non-Whties. If "White Replacement Theory" was a phrase that was used at the time, I would have been all for it and likely argued passionately in FAVOUR of it. I DID have a "black and white" view of the world, where I laughed at the idea of the Irish and Italians not being "white" - that was a red flag to me that I was dealing with a "White Christian Conservative" and so was not to be taken seriously, for instance. (You can't get much more white than most Irish people, after all, and it is still common for people to talk about the first Slaves in the Americas being Irish, not African) The places I frequented, the people I interacted with, we all held these views or at least espoused these views publicly to fit in. And it wasn't until I was literally holding someone in my arms on the day they were born that I realized that I was arguing to make their lives worse simply because of the colour of their skin, and my perceptions of the sins (ironic for an atheist to think of "sins") associated with that skin colour. I was perfectly fine living a lesser life for myself, but when it was my child that I was condemning to a lesser life... that's probably what broke me out of this line of thinking and this kind of belief far more than anything else could have. If people like me didn't do what people like me did in the 2000's (and probably before, but it wasn't until the 2000's that I because active in that kind of movement), maybe Camus wouldn't have had fodder for his "Great Replacement Theory". And yes, his reasoning (and the reasoning of the proponents of that specific theory) is irredeemable. But the sentiment DOES exist out there. The problems they are noting DO exist. The changes ARE happening. It's just that nothing is happening the way anyone predicted. The Latino's crossing the southern US border aren't becoming Lifelong Democrats - they're leaving the DNC and becoming Independent (if not outright Republican), and the Pro-Immigrant/Anti-Immigrant argument in the Latino community is as strong and divided as it is in the wider American community. Muslims are not embracing the LGBTQ+, and it's difficult to see if they're embracing Feminism either - it still seems to be a very common expectation among teenage Muslim girls that they're going to get married to someone from the Old Country and start raising a family either right out of high school or maybe they get to go to University first. None of them want Socialism or to get rid of Capitalism, and the vast majority are either Christian (latino's) or Muslim, few to none are leaving their Religion behind and becoming Secular. So what I expected to happen, and what I taunted Conservatives about happening... aren't happening. Conservatives may be more right about what's happening than I was, regardless of the path they took to get to those answers.

Matt, as a pragmatic fellow Kansan (KU educated, now in Seattle) I love your intelligent, no-nonsense, straight shooting, equality-based takes on subjects. Thanks for being a positive voice supporting critical thinking for our youth and the rest of us!
